Mike Michalowicz provides entrepreneurs and small businesses with tips on everything from starting a business to networking to marketing and health care.

Why you should read it:

Mike not only provides great tips but he provides great tips from REAL people. All of the blogs on the Toilet Paper Entrepreneur are essentially written by peers and those who have been there. It is a great blog and certainly provides unique perspectives all on things entrepreneur.

Written by a panel of small business owners, the site offers tips and advice on everything business related. Need a recommendation on finance software? They probably have it. Want to know how small businesses can use social media and search? They have that too.

Why you should read it:

Small business trends really covers EVERYTHING! Aside from the main blog, they do radio interviews, have Webinar Wednesdays and write genuinely interesting articles. They may have also featured Grasshopper a fewtimes so we may be partial.

Run by two brothers, Matthew and Adam Toren, Young Entrepreneur is exactly what it sounds like; a site dedicated to young entrepreneurs.

Why you should read it:

Between blog posts, forums, polls and interviews with other small business owners, the site offers fantastic content. Find blog posts on starting a business, marketing a business, sales, creating a website, search and much more.

Web Worker Daily is definitely one of my favorite blogs when it comes to business and the web. They speak to everyone, offer interesting and succinct posts and do a great job of keeping up with and informing others of the latest technologies.

Run by the same company that developed Entrepreneur Magazine and Entrepreneur.com, Women Entrepreneur is dedicated to helping women in business. From articles outlining sales strategies to blogs dedicated to women over 55, the site has something for everyone.

Why you should read it:

Written for women by women, the site offers advice you can relate to and be confident in. Plus, I have to say my favorite part is the success stories section.

One of the top resources for entrepreneurs, Startup Nation offers everything you could need: tips and advice, forums, networking, podcasts, contests and more. The great part is, the blog is written by entrepreneurs, so they certainly know what they are talking about when it comes to do’s and don’ts.

Why you should read it:

With over 5 years worth of content the site easily has over 2000 articles covering a wide range of topics useful to small businesses and entrepreneurs. Running a business, marketing, business planning…they even have a category called ‘Life Planning‘!

Small Biz Technology is exactly that; a site dedicated to providing small businesses with news, tips and analysis on the latest technology. They cover software, the web, phone apps and a whole lot in between.

Why you should read it:

Not only is it interesting to see how companyies are using the latest technologies but SBT offers unbiased reviews of products and lets you know if/how they can benefit your company.

Duct Tape Marketing is one of the best small business marketing blogs out there. Written by John Jantsch, the blog provides tips on email marketing, blogging, social media, branding, search and so much more. There is also anarticle section with some truly great articles from various authors.

Why you should read it:

Along with the blog, Duct Tape Marketing has articles, resources, podcasts, various products and workshops to help small businesses improve marketing. The posts are easy to read, right to the point and provide readers with some great insight into online marketing that they may not be aware of.

Entrepreneur.com is probably the premiere site when it comes to entrepreneur articles and advice. Covering everything from starting a business to finance to sales and management, you will definitely find anything you need on this site.

Why you should read it:

The site can be overwhelming since there is so much info but the great thing is you can subscribe to a specific topic or blog through your RSS reader. They also have a community section where you can connect and talk with other entrepreneurs.

While I didn’t add them to my top ten, I would also be sure to check out Zapposand Seth Godin’s Blog. What other entrepreneur blogs are on the must read list?
